i recently went into my local boots hoping to get model's own utopia nail polish after lily from llymlrs had raved about it on her blog/youtube, however with my local boots only being a tiny one, unfortunately they didn't have a model's own counter so i went to the barry m stall bit to look for the next nail polish on my list: barry m gelly hi shine nail paint in prickly pear (cor, that's a name and half isn't it?)
as you can see, prickly pear is a lovely lilac colour which has a lovely shine to it, even without a top coat. i love barry m polishes, and this is no exception. the only downside to this would be that the brush is a bit small, which doesn't help those whose forte is definitely not painting their nails (a.k.a me). negatives aside, i think this is a gorgeous colour especially for spring/summer!
i am not entirely sure about the 'gelly hi shine' range as i don't see a difference between it and the normal barry m nail polishes! nevertheless, i would definitely recommend and i'm hoping to get more from the range in the future!
have you tried any of the gelly hi shine nail paints from barry m?
thank you for reading and i shall see you in the next post!

DeleteI know what you mean, there isn't a huge difference between the gelly polishes and the normal ones! I've not tried this one - I have other gelly ones, it's pretty though, so I may! x
ReplyDeletei know! and you should!x

I've got 2 of the jelly hi shine and I was a bit dissappointed I was hoping they would be like jelly I think hehe :-)
ReplyDeletehaha! that would be a really cool/odd product haha!
DeleteI have Pomegranate from the Gelly Hi-Shine range and I can't tell much different either, I was expecting a thick jelly like forumla. The only difference I can tell is that it's thicker and you only need one coat and it chips less. I like it but I don't love it!
